Did you bet on the Melo wager during the Knicks game?

[TylerOO]

Don't think that's how it works

I didn't bet on it. Melo didn't play so it should be voided.

but hey it don't matter to me, just my 2 cents.

I went with Melo, so I wouldn't mind if it didn't count :D But if I recall correctly, there haven't been any exceptions regarding wagers. I could be wrong though.

[PistonsFan#21]

Did you bet on the Melo wager during the Knicks game?

when did the game start? i havent even checked any of the games today i just saw the thread and posted my picks before the deadline. If that wager is voided i'll replace it by the Lakers will have more assists than Jazz for 2 points (if im allowed to)

if above is voided then Wager 3 Agree - 3 points

[Scholar]

Sorry, guys, but the Melo/KD wager is not voided.
I hope you guys do know you can edit your posts as long as it's before the deadline... So if you picked Melo to get more 3's today than KD, you could've changed it as long as you did so before the deadline today, which was 4 pm PST.

[Scholar]

Actually, it looks like 2 posters selected the Melo/KD wager after it was already determined Melo wouldn't be playing..

Hmm... A dilemma. I don't know why I didn't think about the fact that the deadline was AFTER the first wager would be decided.



Ok.. I think I will void Wager #1 if everyone agrees to it, which I can't imagine you guys wouldn't, seeing as most of you thought Melo would attempt more 3's than Durant.

So if you agree Wager #1 should be voided, please say so.

[Rose]

I can understand why so many were slow to post in this thread. It's the holidays, most people are off school/work and doing things.

This pretty much is a question I can't help but ponder.

All_Net sometimes does it, usually doesn't. I don't think it's a hard task to do, especially since it's only once a week, but :confusedshrug: ...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's because Jeff told him not to do it anymore since Jeff doesn't like me. :oldlol:

Even if he played do you guys think Melo would have took 7 3s or more? like dr hee that agreed for selfish reason id disagree for the same exact one

[LEFT4DEAD]

Hahahahha cant believe it. Howard was 0-0 from FT line. What now Scholar??? Is it 0% or what? :roll:

And ****, just one point off of LAC-POR game.

I don't know, but taking the wager after the game started is not cool imo.

[PistonsFan#21]

I don't know, but taking the wager after the game started is not cool imo.

To be honest i wasnt even watching the game but like i said before if the wager isnt accepted i wanted to change it to the Lakers-Utah wagger instead since i posted it before the deadline.

Im not trying to cheat lol im far away from the top spots anyway

Yeah, didn't want to imply cheating, lol :cheers: Melo wagers are cursed anyway. The guy didn't screw me for the first time :facepalm

yea lol he seemed to be struggling all season then when i bet hes not gonna score over 40pts for the week he exploded for an efficient 45pts game. :hammerhead:

and then a week later he goes back to his 9-29 shooting type of nights

[coin24]

1-3 so far:oldlol: :facepalm
Clippers gonna clipp

[TylerOO]

Dwight shot 0-0 from the foul line last night. Which is under 60% right? :lol These wagers are all ****ed up this week

[iamgine]

The wager specifically said "Dwight will shoot below 60%..."

Since Dwight didn't shoot at all, therefore anyone agreeing should be wrong and anyone disagreeing should be right.

Yes, this week was one of the hardest so far. Wagers were ****ed up, and games too.

No, 0-0 FT means 0%.
:lol not really

:lol not really
yes, really, 0-(any number) is 0%.

Except when it's 0. 0-0 is not 0%.

Except when it's 0. 0-0 is not 0%.
its nothing. nothing < 60%

[Scholar]

Ok, the wagers this week were f*cked.

Here's how I'm looking at it for it to be fair:

• Everyone who picked the Melo/KD wager before the deadline will have it affect their score.
• Everyone who picked the Melo/KD wager after that game was already underway will have it voided.
• The Dwight Howard FT wager still stands because he played the game. Not attempting FTs at all shouldn't void the wager. Iamgine explained it best above.
• Obviously, Lakers-Jazz wager still stands, even though it's screwing everyone hard this week.

If anyone has any wager suggestions for next week, post them up. Please make sure they're not easy-to-predict wagers, like "Kevin Durant will score more points than Jeremy Lamb." I'll add the better wager suggestions to next week's Wagers.

[Scholar]

Damn, from the looks of it, only Iamgine and PistonsFan#21 aren't losing any points due to a Wager this week.
Iamgine didn't pick one and PF#21's Wager is voided because he chose it after the Knicks-Thunder game was already underway.

The rest of us got pretty f*cked this week.

[fsvr54]

Lakers 16 Assists
Jazz 25 Assists
Ya'll got trolled by Lakers :roll:

Wagers are really ****ing me the last two weeks.

[dr.hee]

If anyone has any wager suggestions for next week, post them up.

What about something like "Dirk Nowitzki will average more ppg next week than Monta Ellis."...?
The Mavs play Washington (Wed), Clippers (Fri) and Knicks (Sun)...

Monta 20.7 ppg
Dirk 21.6 ppg

Ellis has struggled lately while Dirk scores like he's 25 again. Could go either way.

[LEFT4DEAD]

[QUOTE=Scholar]

[Scholar]

@ dr.hee, I like that wager. I'll include.

@ LEFT4DEAD, sorry. :oldlol: I just have to make the game as fair as possible, so it's gotta stand, bro. Hopefully next week's wagers won't be as f*cked up as this week's.
